We run on the tree root for a while and we saw the Great Void, the Great Void... It's almost completely gone... said Nia. After all, the Great Void was Ophion's doing said Pyra, yes, indeed said Gramps.

So with Ophion gone, the Great Void could not support itself... said Gramps, if only we were above the surface, we could easily cross said Dromarch. I mean, it doesn't look Impossible to climb... But it's nastier than any mountain, that's for sure said Nia.

Everyone! Here! said Pyra as she walk of ahead, Pyra? asked Rex as we follow her inside of the World Tree. Whoa said y/n, the insides of the World Tree... I'd never have thought... said Rex, It seems to be an artificial tower enveloped by gargantuan plant life said Dromarch.

Then Pyra turn into third form and turn on the elevator, then she turn back to herself. It seems like we can use this to travel up said Pyra, Up? Pyra... What did you do? asked Rex. Honestly, I'm not sure myself, it's like my body is remembering something all by itself said Pyra.

It must be...another power granted to the Master Blade by Father... So...we need to hurry said Pyra, Why? asked Rex. This was hardwired into my brain, so, Malos must have the same thing said Pyra.

Not good said Rex, seems this is some kind of elevator said Brighid, that's some fancy glazing... said Zeke. Ooh, you never were good with heights, shut your eyes! said Pandoria, let go said Pyra as we enter the eleator.

An ride took us while and as the elevator stop, we walk through the hall while fight off some foes on the way. Rex stop walking, Rex-Rex look worried... Maybe Rex-Rex lost wallet? asked Tora, It's not that said Rex.

Oh! I see! Well, maybe your worry is your wallet's empty said Tora, well that's true. I don't work much these days... Hey... Why are you so interested in my finances all of a sudden? asked Rex. What is up with you, kid? You've been a right gloomguts lately said Zeke.

Mmm... I was thinking about Amalthus, If what Jin said is ture, the Praetor doesn't just hate Blades...but humans too. I mean, he basically hates the whole world, seems like said Rex. How so? asked Nia.

In old Torna, humans lived togetherwith Blades that eventually became Titans. So destroying Torna was the same as destroying the Titans, Amalthus must have known that the Titans have been dying off over the last few centuries said Rex.

Cannot live without Titans! Everbody go bye-bye! said Tora, maybe the Praetorium saw it as an obstacle to their power. If the Blades were becoming Titans and creating new land, people might have more faith in the Blades I said.

If a new faith emerged, it would threaten the Praetorium and its dogma i said. I understand that much, that's just war and politices, but... said Rex, Rex... said Pyra. Hating people, hating yourself... Where does it end? asked Rex.

What do you do when you hate the whole world? asked Rex, you mean... said Nia, destroy it. That's all that's left, tell me I'm wrong said Rex, that's a leap of logic... But I think a lot of mortals are like that said Brighid.

Your right about that said y/n, D'you remember? Talking to the Praetor... I said it felt like talking to Malos said Rex. Yeah, you did say that said Nia, It's a funny thing. Malos and the Praetor, they want the same thing said Rex.

(y/n)pov

As we walk through more and Zeke look around, well. No way I'd ever have guessed the World Tree was like this on the inside said Zeke, It definitely appears to be man-made. Created by the same civilization as Morytha... said Dromarch.

The birthplace of the Architect... That's what Jin called it said Rex, Then maybe the Architect built this thing... Do you really think we're going to find him at the top? And Elysium too? asked Zeke.

From what we saw in Morytha, it seemed like all that stuff happened a gazillion years ago or maybe two gazillion, I don't know, not even Titans live that long said Zeke. Even Pyra and Mythra have never actually met him, but this tower's right here, it's real... So... said Rex.

'Seeing is believing', is the phrase, hm? We'll just have to find out for ourselves, there's no use speculating said Morag. Nia, what's wrong? Is tummy started rumbling? asked Tora, Oh, for the... Every time with you it's 'have you lost your wallet?' or 'are you hungry?' is that really all you can think of? asked Nia.

Mehhhh... Wh-wh... T-tora thought food is only thing that makes Nia all...um...growly-growly said Tora, watch it, furball... said Nia. What is Nia's problem? asked Poppi, that's not a nice way to ask, Poppi. But I'll let it slide said Nia.

There's something I want to ask you Blades said Nia, should that be me too? i asked as Nia nod. Tell the truth... Have you ever wanted to extend your life? asked Nia, Avoid returning to our cores? asked Brighid.

Yeah said Nia, that's a tough question... I would like to keep learning about my fomer selves... But to keep living after Morag is dead... oh, I'm sorry... said Brighid. No, I understand said Morag, the idea of living on without her does not appeal to me said Brighid.

Yeah, same here, I want my memories of the Prince to be just between us said Pandoria. You're going to make me blush, Pandy! said Zeke. Dromarch? asked Nia, as long as i'm my lady's side till the end...then I'm satisfied said Dromarch.

Poppi is artificial Blade, so it is very sad for me to think about, when Masterpon is gone, Poppi will be widow said Poppi. Mehhhhh! said Tora, well, not quite. But I get where you're coming from said Nia.

Pyra? asked Nia, well, I... said Pyra, it's different for you, right? You've been alive for a few centuries... said Rex. Did i ask you? Pyra, what do you think about it, really? asked Nia. Hey... said Rex, she got a point i said.

Sometimes I wondered why I have to keep on living forever...just on and on, no end in sight. But...it's different now, I'm glad I've stayed alive all this time. Parting is always sad, but it's just part of the deal of being me said Pyra.

Though...maybe... Maybe one day I'd be happy to close my eyes forever...with someone special there by my side said Pyra, Pyra... said Rex, that's our Pyra said Nia.

(Nia)pov

Now y/n? I asked, I didn't get that choice... My brother make the choice for me, he want me to promise to live on for him. So i keep that promise and live on for him, i don't know why he did that... but i think he knew what to do and what happened said y/n.

I am glad to live on for my brother and to meet you guys said y/n, thanks, guys, thanks for sharing with me i said. So...What made you ask? asked Rex, I'm a flesh Eater, so... I don't know how long I'll live for i said.

I mean, for all I know, I might just snuff it tomorrow i said. My lady... said Dromarch, but i can say this much, my life and death isn't tied to any human i said. And? asked Rex, It's Jin, I've been wondering, Jin was collecting Core Crystals i said.

But why didn't he use them? Doesn't he hate humans? He could use them to create Blades, then turn them into Flesh Eaters. He could expand Torna with no need for human in the mix i said, they do lack numbers, is that all of them? asked Brighid.

Yeah, it's just the five of 'em, that's it. When Malos suggested getting Obrona and Akhos to resonate, Jin was dead against it. So I think maybe... Maybe Jin feels the same way as us... i said.

The same way as us...? asked Pyra, I think maybe that's why he won't resonate with anyone i said as we on our way and an long walk. We about walk outside and we heard an explosion, An explosion? asked Rex.

A battle, perhaps? asked Morag as we run to the side, so, this is what the World Tree's really like... said Rex. These... They aren't leaves... They're glyphs? iasked, hey, look! shouted Tora, an old Tornan warship... Didn't think there'd be any of those left... said Gramps.

Never mind that! What's this? I had no idea Indol could make it up this high i said. Cloud Sea loooooooong way down! said Tora, it appears that Indol has modified their Titan as old Temperantia did with theirs said Gramps.

But, that much firepower... I did not know Indol possessed so much force said Gramps, no need to ask what they plan to do with it said Brighid. They anticipated it, that Jin and Malos would try to ascend said Morag.

So...Jin is inside that thing? asked Rex, yes, no doubt said Morag. Let's hurry! We can't them make it to Elysium! said Rex.
